Good Girls Go To Heaven…Bad Girls Go To London
i got a new spacebar today! (for those that didn’t know, lucas yanked off my old one and broke it, so typing anything excessively long was a pain in the ass). but now it is fixed for the low cost of $6 and i can type again! i had been planning to make a new post once i had the ability to type again, but atm im eating cookies and so i need my hands. i’ll update this later
i keep hearing about pregnant people. everyone is pregnant, yay!
in the past couple of days lucas figured out how to hold his bottle up in the air in order to drink out of it sitting up. last weekend he started “cruising” meaning he will walk along something while holding on. he only takes like 3 steps tho. he’s a whiz at crawling,tho.
i went with lauren and jake to born again blessings. everything is so insanely cheap there for the secondhand stuff that you can find some really great deals. i’m a little jealous – the stuff lauren found is nicer than the stuff i got.i got a nifty little tent for lucas, but so far it’s been an animal tent.
mommy is retiring! she refinanced her home loan which gave her incredible savings that she can use to pay into her retirement fund, meaning she officially only has 3 more months of school, ever! (until i convince her to open Hogwarts, the private school i’ve decided we are gonig to run together.)
we started our first cookie booth yesterday and sold a tooon of cookies. we are going to have to order a crap ton more because we have 3-4 more booths still to do. the girls were soooo cute selling cookies. they were singing and dancing and waving posters around.
matt will be in china the next 2+ weeks, so i’ll be hanging out with Sarah a lot to keep her company.
i’ve been spending all my free time planning steph and my’s backpacking trip thru eastern europe in the fall. Prague, Budapest, Vienna, and all around the Romanian countryside. included in our plans are: horseback riding in the romanian countryside, the bone chapel outside of Prague (where the entire inside is built from human bones), a Hungarian opera, and hiking 1500 steps to Dracula’s castle.
i am currently teaching myself romanian. it’s pretty fun. i mean serious basics, but it would be so cool to have another useless language added to my repertoire. luckily for me, it is a romance language so it is similar to french making the basics easier to learn. my biggest problem is remembering to say the words with romanian pronunciation and not the french.
english: hi
french: salut (saloo)
romanian: salut (saloot)
eu nu sunt o carte. that means “i am not a book.” the first Romanian sentence i put together on my own (sorry book was the only noun id learned so far).
so im stressed because i found out that my grandpa’s service is being held friday the 19th (next friday – i dont know what time yet). since it is a friday, everyone is working, so i don’t know what to do with lucas. i’m going to try to find out tomorrow if the church has a daycare service or else i’ll just hafta have paul sit out and watch him.
so i accidentally stuck my SD camera memory card in the the CD slot instead of the proper slot right above it. it is now permanently in there apparently. i even tried sticking a metal ruler in there to fish it out but i cant. i think there must be some cd reading or holding mechanism that it is somehow caught behind. it might be easier if i knew what it looked like internally. i dont get why it is so hard to get back out. anyhow i called Dell and after 30 mins on the phone (he must get paid for how long he has a customer on the line. that or he was busy looking at porn) the guy told me it will be $200 to replace the cd drive. so instead im just going to buy a $45 external drive and a new SD card. major suckage.
yesterday i met lauren and her grandmom for lunch at ihop. i love pancakes. having to get up and go somewhere and being out made the day a lot easier to handle than when im just sitting at home doing nothing and trying not to fall asleep. afterwards i went to barnes and noble and got 3 new books, yay.

since im a horrible mother, i looked over to check on my child, and he was across the room finger painting in the cat puke
haha i was going to use this little SD card for something so i stuck it in my computer and discovered it had pictures on it! it had like 5 pix from jana’s bachelorette party in 2008 that i hadnt ever even seen before.
tonight paul and lucas and i went out to dinner at a chinese restaurant. the couple at the booth next to us just couldnt get enough of lucas. probably because he is so effing cute. he can majorly power crawl now, pull himself into a standing position without pulling up on anything, bend his knees to sit down instead of just falling over, and we tried finger foods but he didn’t like them much. in fact one of the first ones we gave him he threw at Matt at the museum at my birthday.
ive been spending a lot of time planning out the trip to europe that steph and i want to take in sept.
this post was supposed to be a lot longer but i didnt finish it

maybe i should start eating it myself. so last month i looked up a baby feeding chart to see how much lucas should be eating and i was shocked at how much baby food he was supposed to be getting ( we were still feeding him nearly all formula with a jar of baby food around every other day). so we majorly amped up his solids and this week i started adding stage 2 foods – instead of it being just applesauce, he has vanilla applesauce mixed with a little grain. it pretty much tastes like flavored sweet applesauce and is pretty darn good. lucas loves his fruits but still isn’t too keen on veggies. he’ll get half way thru a veggie jar and then clamp up and won’t take more bites until you switch to fruit. if you keep shoving peas in, he’ll get mad at you and kinda cry angrily (he has also started getting grumpy if you take a “toy”). the downside is he now poops 2-3 times a day instead of once a day plus it takes forever to feed him because he is all ADD about it and tries to look at everything and grab everything while being fed. we sit him up in his bumbo chair with a little bumbo tray to feed him. it’s easier than the high chair and the bumbo can be put on any surface next to you…desk…futon.
today i put up a large baby superyard (jail, pen, whatever you want to call it) because now that he learned to crawl, he’s only interested in grabbing stuff he isn’t supposed to grab rather than his toys. he didn’t seem to mind being in it and just crawled around playing with toys and watching tv.
ever since he learned to sit up at the en of Nov, we’ve been able to put him in high chairs at restaurants and in the shopping carts (end of dec) instead of toting the carrier or trying to push the stroller + buggy.
i’m loving my new craft desk. i really need to take down the christmas tree…some day
for my birthday i got a new craft desk from michaels. its built from several storage cubes with boards on top. they were on sale today so i ran out and bought a bunch and then spent from 4pm – 10pm (with a dinner break) assembling them. i did it nearly all myself (paul helped with the frustrating parts when the screws wouldn’t align). i’m really excited about working at it. paul seemed pleased that he might be able to recover the futon since it’s been my current workstation and you hafta do a jump and a leap usually to even reach it, and even then there is only enough room for myself and maybe a couple animals.
im going to be sick, they just ate an eyeball on tv. altho i assume it was fake but ewww
well just one week ago lucas got the hang of crawling. today, when i went in to check on him when i was putting him to bed, i walked in to find him standing up in his crib. so he can now pull himself up and stand if holding something!
